The food was absolutely delicious. Their coleslaw is unique and amazing. It's so creamy with a hint of dill. The fried chicken was crispy and very very juicy. Be aware the Bourbon Bread Pudding for two is enough for 4 but is succulent. We happily enjoyed the leftovers later. The sauce is not to sweet and is perfect with the pudding.
